Another main problem of the present invention is the desire to obtain compositions that improve the health of a plant, a process that is commonly referred to as "plant health". The term plant health comprises several types of plant improvements that are not related to the control of pests and that do not include the reduction of negative consequences of harmful fungi. The term "plant health" indicates a condition of the plant and / or its products that is determined by various indicators, alone or in combination, such as yield (eg, higher biomass and / or higher content of valuable ingredients). ), vigor of the plant (eg, better growth of the plant and / or greener leaves ("more green effect"), quality (eg, better content or composition of certain ingredients) and tolerance to abiotic stress and / or biotic The indicators identified above for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or may be the result of one another.

Therefore, an objective of the present invention was to provide a method, which solved the problems indicated above and, in particular, to reduce the dosage rate and / or promote the health of a plant.

Surprisingly, it has now been discovered that the use of carboxamide compounds, as defined above, in the cultivated plants shows a synergistic effect between the trait of the cultivated plant and the applied carboxamide.

In the present context, synergistic means that a) the use of a carboxamide compound, as defined above, in combination with a cultivated plant exceeds the addition effect that is expected in the harmful fungi to be controlled and, thus, extends the range of action of the carboxamide compound and of the active principle expressed by the cultivated plant, and / or b) said use results in a greater effect on the health of the plant in said cultivated plants compared to the health effects of the plant that are possible with the carboxamide compound, when applied to the non-cultivated plant; I c) the carboxamide compound induces "side effects" in the cultivated plant that increase the health of the plant, in comparison with the respective control plant, in addition to the primary mode of action, ie, the fungicidal activity; I d) the carboxamide compound induces additional "side effects" to the primary mode of action, i.e., the fungicidal activity in the control plant that is detrimental to the health of the plant as compared to a control plant that is not treated with said compound. In combination with the cultivated plant, these negative side effects are reduced, nullified or converted into greater health of the cultivated plant compared to a cultivated plant not treated with said compound.

Thus, the term "synergistic" means, in this context, synergistic fungicidal activity and / or the synergistic increase of the health of the plant.

In particular, it has been found that applying at least one compound of carboxamide, as defined above, to the cultivated plants generates an improved synergistic action against the harmful fungi compared to the control rates that are possible with the carboxamide compound, as defined above, in uncultivated plants and / or leads to a synergistic increase in the health of a plant when applied to a cultivated plant, parts of a plant, plant propagation material or its growth locus.

Therefore, the present invention relates to a method for controlling harmful fungi and / or increasing the health of a cultivated plant by treating a cultivated plant, parts of a plant, plant propagation material or its growth locus with a carboxamide compound selected from the group consisting of boscalid, N- (3 ', 4', 5'-trifluorobiphenyl-2-yl) -3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1 H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide, bixafen, penflufen , fluopiram, sedaxane, isopyrazam, pentiopyrad, benodanil, carboxy, fenfuram, flutolanil, furametpyr, mepronil, oxycarboxin, trifluzamide, preferably with a carboxamide compound selected from the group consisting of boscalid, N- (3 ', 4', 5 ' -trifluorobiphenyl-2-yl) -3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide, bixafen, penflufen, fluopyram, sedaxane, isopyrazam and pentiopyrad.

The carboxamide compounds are known as fungicides (cf., for example, EP-A 545 099, EP-A 589 301, EP-A 737682, EP-A 824099, WO 99/09013, WO 03/010149, WO 03 / 070705, WO 03/074491, WO 2004/005242, WO 2004/035589, WO 2004/067515, WO 06/087343). For example, commercially available compounds can be found in The Pesticide Manual, 13th Edition, British Crop Protection Council (2003), among other publications.

The term "plant propagation material" indicates all generative parts of a plant, such as seeds and vegetative material of the plant, such as cuttings and tubers (e.g., potatoes), which can be used for the multiplication of the plant. This includes seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, shoots and other parts of plants, including seedlings and young plants, which are going to be transplanted after germination or after they emerge from the soil.

The reference herein made to "minor expression" or "substantial reduction or elimination" of the expression means a decrease in the expression of an endogenous gene and / or in the levels of polypeptides and / or in the activity of polypeptides in relationship with control plants. It comprises reducing, repressing, decreasing or further eliminating the expression of a product of a nucleic acid molecule.

The terms "reduction", "repression", "decrease" or "elimination" refer to a corresponding change of a property in an organism, a part of an organism such as a tissue, seed, root, tuber, fruit, leaf, flower, etc. or in a cell. "Change of a property" means that the activity, level of expression or quantity of a gene product or metabolite content changes in a specific volume or in a specific amount of protein in relation to the corresponding volume or amount of protein. a control, reference or wild type. Preferably, in some cases the overall activity in the volume is reduced, reduced or eliminated if the reduction, decrease or elimination is related to the reduction, decrease or elimination of an activity of a gene product, regardless of whether the amount of gene product or the specific activity of the gene product or both is reduced, decreased or eliminated or if the amount, efficiency of translation or stability of the nucleic acid sequence or of the gene encoding the gene product is reduced, decreased or eliminated.

The terms "reduction", "repression", "decrease" or "elimination" include the change of said property only in parts of the subject of the present invention, for example, the modification can be found in a compartment of a cell, such as a organelle, or in a part of a plant, such as tissue, seed, root, leaf, tuber, fruit, flower, etc. but it can not be detected if the whole subject is evaluated, that is, the plant or whole cell. Preferably, the "reduction", "repression", "decrease" or "elimination" is found at the cell level, thus, the term "reduction, decrease or elimination of an activity" or "reduction, decrease or elimination of a metabolite content "refers to the reduction, decrease or elimination at the cell level compared to the wild-type cell. Also, the terms "reduction", "repression", "decrease" or "elimination" include the change of said property only during different phases of the growth of the organism used in the process of the invention, for example, reduction, repression, decrease or elimination occur only during the growth of the seed or during flowering. Also, the terms include a transient reduction, decrease or deletion, for example, because the method used, for example, the antisense molecule, RNAi, snRNA, dsRNA, siRNA, miRNA, ta-siRNA, cosuppression or ribozyme is not Stably integrated into the genome of the organism or the reduction, decrease, repression or elimination is under the control of a regulatory or inducible element, for example, a promoter inducible by chemical products or otherwise inducible and, therefore, it only has a transitory effect.

The methods to achieve said reduction, reduction or elimination in a Expression product are known in the art, for example, in international patent application WO 2008/034648, in particular in paragraphs [0020.1.1.1], [0040.1.1.1], [0040.2.1.1] and [0041.1.1.1]. ] It is known to reduce, repress, reduce or eliminate an expression product of a nucleic acid molecule in modified plants. The examples are canola, that is, double zero oilseed rape with reduced amounts of erucic acid and sinapines.

Such a decrease can also be achieved, for example, by the use of recombinant DNA technology, such as siRNA approaches or antisense or regulatory RNA (e.g., miRNA, RNAi, aRNA). In particular, RNAi, snRNA, dsRNA, siRNA, miRNA, ta-siRNA, cosuppression, ribozyme, or antisense nucleic acid molecule, a nucleic acid molecule that confers the expression of a dominant-negative mutant of a construct can be used. of nucleic acid or a protein capable of recombining and silencing, inactivating, repressing or reducing the activity of an endogenous gene, to decrease the activity of a polypeptide in a transgenic plant or its parts or its plant cell used in an embodiment of the methods of the invention. Examples of transgenic plants with a reduced, repressed, diminished or eliminated expression product of a nucleic acid molecule are Carica papaya (papaya plants) named event X17-2 of the University of Florida, Prunus domestica (plum) with event name C5 of the United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service, or those listed in rows T9-48 and T9-49 of table 9 below. Plants with greater resistance to nematodes are also known, for example, by reducing, repressing, reducing or eliminating an expression product of a nucleic acid molecule, for example, from PCT publication WO 2008/095886.

The reduction or substantial elimination is, in order of increasing preference, at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95%, 96% , 97%, 98%, 99% or more reduction compared to the control plants. The reference herein to an "endogenous" gene not only refers to the gene in question as it is found in a plant in its natural form (ie, without human intervention), but also refers to that same gene ( or to a gene / nucleic acid substantially homologous) in isolated form that is (re) introduced later in a plant (a transgene). For example, a transgenic plant containing said transgene can present a substantial reduction of the expression of the transgene and / or a substantial reduction of the expression of the endogenous gene.

The terms "control" or "reference" may be used interchangeably and may be a cell or a part of a plant, such as an organelle such as a chloroplast or a tissue, in particular a plant that was not modified or treated in accordance with the process described herein according to the invention. Accordingly, the plant used as control or reference corresponds to the plant as much as possible and is as identical to the object of the invention as possible. In this way, the control or the reference is treated identically or as identical as possible, that is to say that only conditions or properties that do not influence the quality of the evaluated property and that are different from the treatment of the present invention.

It is possible that the control or reference plants are wild type plants. However, "control" or "reference" may refer to plants that carry at least one genetic modification, when the plants used in the process of the present invention carry at least one genetic modification more than said control or reference plants. . In one embodiment, the control or reference plants may be transgenic but differ from the transgenic plants employed in the process of the present invention only by said genetic modification contained in the transgenic plants employed in the process of the present invention.

The term "wild type" or "wild-type plants" refers to a plant without said genetic modification. These terms may refer to a cell or a part of a plant, such as an organelle, such as a chloroplast or a tissue, in particular a plant that lacks such genetic modification but is otherwise as identical as possible to plants with at least one genetic modification employed in the present invention. In a particular embodiment, the "wild type" plant is not transgenic.

Preferably, the wild type is treated identically in accordance with the process described herein according to the invention. The skilled artisan will recognize whether the wild-type plants will not require certain pretreatments to the process of the present invention, for example, non-transgenic wild-type plants will not need selection of transgenic plants, for example, by treatment with an agent of selection, such as a herbicide.

The control plant can also be a nulicigota of the plant to be evaluated. The term "nulicigotas" refers to a plant that has been subjected to the same production process as a transgenic plant and, however, has not acquired the same genetic modification as the corresponding transgenic plant. If the starting material of said production process is transgenic, then the nulli-cysts are also transgenic but lack the additional genetic modification introduced by the production process. In the process of the present invention, the purpose of the wild type and the nulicigota is the same as for the control or reference or its parts. All of these serve as controls in any comparison to provide evidence of the advantageous effect of the present invention.

Preferably, any comparison is carried out under analogous conditions.

The term "analogous conditions" means that all conditions such as, for example, cultivation or development conditions, soil, nutrients, water content of the soil, temperature, humidity or air or surrounding soil, test conditions (such as composition of the buffer, temperature, substrates, strain of pathogens, concentrations and the like) remain identical between the experiments to be compared. The artisan will recognize whether wild-type, control or reference plants will not require certain pre-treatments of the process of the present invention, for example, non-transgenic wild-type plants will not need selection of transgenic plants, for example, by treatment with a herbicide.

In case the conditions are not analogous, the results can be standardized or standardized on the basis of control.

The "reference", the "control" or the "wild type" preferably is a plant that has not been modified or treated in accordance with the process of the invention described herein and is, in any other property, as similar as it may be. possible to a plant employed in the process of the present invention. The reference, control or wild type is, in its genome, transcriptome, proteome or metabolome, as similar as possible to a plant employed in the process of the present invention. Preferably, the term "reference", "control" or "wild type" plant refers to a plant, which is almost genetically identical to the organelle, cell, tissue or organism, in particular plant, of the present invention or a part of this, preferably 90% or more, for example, 95%, more preferably 98%, even more preferably 99.00%, in particular 99.10%, 99.30%, 99.50%, 99.70% %, 99.90%, 99.99%, 99.999% or more. Most preferably, the "reference", the "control" or the "wild type" is a plant, which is genetically identical to the plant, cell, tissue or organelle used according to the process of the invention, except that the nucleic acid molecules responsible for or conferring activity or the gene product encoded by them have been modified, manipulated, exchanged or introduced into the organelle, cell, tissue, plant employed in the process of the present invention.

Preferably, the reference and the object of the invention are compared after standardization and normalization, for example, with the total amount of RNA, DNA or protein or activity or expression of the reference genes, such as housekeeping genes, such as ubiquitin, actin or ribosomal proteins.

The genetic modification that is carried out in the organelle, cell, tissue, in particular in the plant used in the process of the present invention, in one embodiment, is stable, for example, due to a stable transgenic expression or to a stable mutation in the corresponding endogenous gene or to a modulation of the expression or behavior of a gene, or transient, for example, due to a transient transformation or temporary addition of a modulator, such as an agonist or antagonist, or inducible, for example , after transformation with an inducible construct carrying a nucleic acid molecule under the control of an inducible promoter and by the addition of the inducer, for example, tetracycline.

In one embodiment of the invention, the term "higher plant health" means an increase, compared to the respective control, of a trait selected from the group consisting of: yield (eg, higher biomass and / or yield) of seed), vigor of the plant (for example, better growth of the plant and / or early vigor and / or "effect of greater greenness", ie greener leaves, preferably leaves with a higher green index), vigor early, greater green effect (conservation of the green surface of a leaf), quality (for example, better content or composition of certain ingredients), tolerance to environmental stress, tolerance to herbicides, resistance to insects, fungal resistance or viral resistance or bacterial resistance, resistance to antibiotics, content of fine chemicals advantageous for applications in the field of the food industry for humans and / or feed for animals, the cosmetic industry or the pharmaceutical industry, efficiency in the use of nutrients, use of absorbed nutrients, quality of the fiber, color and sterility of the male and / or "greater health of the plant" means an alteration or modification, in comparison with the respective control, of a trait selected from the group consisting of maturation, restoration of fertility and color.

"Plant health" is defined as a condition of the plant that is determined by various individual or combined aspects. An indicator of the condition of the plant is its "performance".

Thus, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the term "increased health of the plant" means an increase in performance compared to the respective control.

In one embodiment, the term "higher plant health" means any combination of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more of the above-mentioned traits.

In one embodiment of the invention, the term "increased plant health" means that the same effect can be achieved in the cultivated plant as in the control plant by a reduction in application rates and / or by a reduction in the application doses.

In general, term "yield" means a measurable product of economic value, typically related to a specific crop, area and time period. The individual parts of the plants directly contribute to the yield based on their quantity, size and / or weight, or the actual yield is the yield per square meter for a crop and year, which is determined by dividing the total production (includes both the production harvested as the calculated production) per square meter planted. The term "yield" of a plant can refer to the plant biomass (root biomass and / or shoot), reproductive organs and / or propagules (such as seeds) of that plant.

In one embodiment, yield means any product of the plant of economic value produced by the plant, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, wood or even flowers. The products of the plant can be used and / or processed further after the harvest.

According to the present invention, "higher yield" of a plant, in particular of an agricultural, horticultural, silvicultural and / or ornamental plant, means that the yield of a product of the respective plant is increased by a measurable amount compared to the performance of the same product of the control plant produced under the same conditions.

In one embodiment of the invention, the higher yield is characterized, for example, by the following improved properties of the plant and / or its products compared to a control, such as greater weight, greater height, higher biomass, such as as a higher total fresh weight, higher grain yield, more shoots, larger leaves, higher growth of shoots, higher protein content, higher oil content, higher starch content and / or higher pigment content.

Another indicator of the condition of the plant is the "vigor of the plant". According to the present invention, "higher plant vigor" of a plant, in particular of an agricultural, horticultural, silvicultural and / or ornamental plant means that the vigor of a plant is increased by a measurable amount compared to the vigor of the control plant in the same conditions.

In one embodiment of the invention, the vigor of the plant is evidenced in at least one aspect selected from the group consisting of better plant vitality, better plant growth, better plant development, better visual appearance, better upright posture of the plant (lower viewing / plant inclination), better harvestability, better emergence, better nodulation, particularly rhizobial nodulation, larger size, greater leaf blade, greater weight of the plant, greater height of the plant, more shoots, higher growth of shoots, greater root growth (extensive root system), higher yield when grown in poor soils or unfavorable climate, better photosynthetic activity, better pigment content (for example, content of chlorophyll), early flowering, shorter flowering period, early fruit development, early and improved germination, early maturity of the grain, improvement in self-defense mechanisms, better stress tolerance and resistance of plants against biotic stress factors and abiotic stress, such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects, heat stress, cold stress, drought stress, stress UV and / or salt stress, fewer non-productive shoots, fewer dead basal leaves, fewer supplies needed (such as fertilizers, water or pesticides), greener leaves ("more green effect"), less premature maturation induced by stress and less excision of the fruits, complete maturation in shortened vegetation periods, greater and better filling of the grains, less quantity of necessary seeds, easier harvesting (for example, through the induction of leaf defoliation), faster ripening and uniform, induction of excision of young fruits (removal of small or damaged fruits so that the rest grow better "fruit thinning"), better storage, longer shelf life, simpler and more cost-effective storage conditions, larger panicles, late senescence, stronger and / or more productive shoots, better extractability of the ingredients, better quality of the seeds (to be sown and n the following stations for the production of seeds) and / or lower ethylene production and / or the inhibition of its reception by the plant in comparison with the control plant. The improvement of the vigor of the plant according to the present invention compared to the control means, in particular, that the improvement of any or several of all the above-mentioned plant characteristics improves independently of the pesticidal action of the composition or active ingredients.

"Early vigor" refers to active, healthy and balanced growth, especially during the early stages of plant growth, and may be the result of a better physical state of the plant due, for example, to the plants adapting better to their environment (that is, they optimize the use of energy resources and they are distributed between bud and root). Plants that have early vigor also show greater survival of the seedlings and better establishment of the crop, which usually results in very uniform fields (where the crop grows evenly, that is, most plants reach the various stages of development substantially at the same time), and often better and better performance. Therefore, early vigor can be determined by measuring various factors, such as weight of a thousand grains, percentage of germination, percentage of plants that emerge, seedling growth, seedling height, root length, root biomass and outbreak and many others.

Another indicator of the condition of the plant is the "quality" of a plant and / or its products.

According to the present invention, "better quality" means that certain characteristics of the crop, such as the content or composition of certain ingredients, are increased or improved by a measurable or notorious amount compared to the same factor of the control plant produced under the same conditions.

In one embodiment, the quality of a product of the respective plant is evidenced in at least one aspect selected from the group consisting of better nutrient content, better protein content, better fatty acid content, better metabolite content , better carotenoid content, better sugar content, better quantity of essential and / or non-essential amino acids, better nutrient composition, better protein composition, better fatty acid composition, better metabolite composition, better carotenoid composition, better composition of sugar, better amino acid composition, better fruit color or optimal color, better fruit texture, better leaf color, greater storage capacity and / or greater processability of the harvested products compared to the control.

In an embodiment of the invention, the quality of a product of the respective plant is revealed in at least one aspect selected from the group consisting of better nutrient yield, better protein yield, better fatty acid yield, better metabolite performance, better carotenoid yield, better sugar yield and / or better yield of essential and / or non-essential amino acids of the harvested products compared to the control. In one embodiment of the invention, the nutrient yield, protein yield, fatty acid yield, metabolite yield, carotenoid yield, sugar yield and / or yield of essential and / or non-essential amino acids is calculated as a function of the yield of seed and / or biomass in relation to the respective nutrient, protein, fatty acid, metabolite, carotenoid, sugar and / or essential and / or non-essential amino acids.

The terms "increase", "improvement" or "increase" can be used indistinctly and mean, in the sense of the request, at least 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% or 10%, preferably at least 15% or 20%, more preferably at least 25%, 30%, 35% or 40% more of the respective trait, characteristic, appearance, property , particularity or attribute described in the present specification, for example, yield and / or growth in comparison with the control plants as defined herein.

In one embodiment of the invention, the highest yield of the seed is manifested as one or more of the following: a) increase in seed biomass (total seed weight) that can be considered on the basis of each seed and / or per floor and / or per square meter; b) more flowers per plant; c) more seeds (full); d) higher seed filling rate (expressed as the ratio between the number of filled seeds divided by the total number of seeds); e) higher harvest index, which is expressed as the proportion of the yield of the harvestable parts, such as seeds, divided by the total biomass; and f) greater thousand kernel weight (TKW), which is extrapolated from the number of full seeds counted and their total weight. A higher TKW may be the result of a larger seed size and / or seed weight, and may also result from a larger embryo and / or endosperm size.

In an embodiment of the invention, the increase in the yield of the seeds also manifests itself as an increase in the size of the seed and / or in the volume of the seed. Likewise, an increase in seed yield also manifests as an increase in the seed area and / or seed length and / or seed width and / or seed perimeter. In another embodiment, the higher performance also results in a modified architecture, or may be the result of a modified architecture.

In one embodiment, the beneficial effect of the present invention may be manifested not in the seed yield per se, but in the quality of the seed and in the quality of the agricultural products produced from the plants treated in accordance with the invention. The quality of the seed can refer to different parameters known in the art, such as better nutrients or better content of fine chemical, for example, amount of vitamins or fatty acids and their composition; color or shape of the seed; germination or vigor of the seed; or lesser amount of toxins, for example, fungal toxins and / or substances difficult to digest or that can not be digested, for example, phytate, lignin.

The "greenness index" as used herein is calculated from digital images of plants. For each pixel that belongs to the plant object of the image, the proportion of the value of green with respect to the value of red is calculated (in the RGB model for the color coding). The green index is expressed as the percentage of pixels for which the green-red ratio exceeds a certain threshold. Under normal growing conditions, under growing conditions with salt stress and under growing conditions with reduced availability of nutrients, the greenness index of the plants is measured in the last formation of images before flowering. On the contrary, in conditions of growth with drought stress, the greenness index of the plants is measured in the first image formation after the drought. Similarly, measurements can be made after exposure to other treatments with abiotic stress, for example, temperature.

Another indicator of the condition of the plant is the tolerance or resistance of the plant to the biotic and / or abiotic stress factors. Biotic and abiotic stress, especially over prolonged periods, can have detrimental effects on plants. Biotic stress is caused by living organisms, while abiotic stress is caused, for example, by extreme environmental conditions or unfavorable for the optimal growth of the plant.

According to the present invention, "better tolerance or resistance to biotic and / or abiotic stress factors" means (1.) that certain negative factors caused by biotic and / or abiotic stress decrease by a measurable or remarkable amount compared to the control plants exposed to the same conditions and (2) that the negative effects are not diminished by the direct action of the composition on the stress factors, for example, by their fungicidal or insecticidal action, which directly destroys the microorganisms or the pests, but by a stimulation of the defensive reactions of the plant ("priming") against said stress factors ("induced resistance") or by the aforementioned synergistic effect.

Biotic stress can be caused by living organisms, such as pests (eg, insects, arachnids, nematodes), competing plants (eg, weeds), microorganisms (such as phytopathogenic fungi and / or bacteria) and / or viruses. Abiotic stress can be caused, for example, by extreme temperatures such as heat or cold (heat stress, cold stress), marked temperature variations, unusual temperatures for a certain season, drought (drought stress), extreme humidity, high salinity (stress due to salinity), radiation (for example, due to increased UV radiation due to the reduction of the ozone layer), higher levels of ozone (ozone stress), organic pollution (for example, phytotoxic amounts of pesticides) and by inorganic pollution (for example, by heavy metal contaminants). The factors of biotic and abiotic stress can also cause secondary stress types, such as oxidative stress.

As a result of biotic and / or abiotic stress factors, the quantity and quality of stressed plants, their crops and fruits decrease.

In one embodiment of the invention, the best tolerance or biotic resistance of the respective plant is manifested in at least one aspect selected from the group consisting of tolerance or resistance to pests (eg, insects, arachnids, nematodes), plants competing (for example, weeds), microorganisms (such as phytopathogenic fungi and / or bacteria) and / or viruses.

In one embodiment of the invention, the best tolerance or abiotic resistance of the respective plant is manifested in at least one aspect selected from the group consisting of tolerance or resistance to extreme temperatures such as heat or cold (heat stress, stress by cold), marked temperature variations, unusual temperatures for a certain season, drought (drought stress), extreme humidity, high salinity (stress due to salinity), radiation (for example, due to increased UV radiation due to the reduction of the layer of ozone), higher levels of ozone (stress due to ozone), organic pollution (for example, by phytotoxic amounts of pesticides) and inorganic pollution (for example, by heavy metal pollutants).

The indicators identified above for the health condition of a plant can be interdependent and can be the result of one another. For example, a higher resistance to biotic and / or abiotic stress can lead to a better vigor of the plant, for example, to better and bigger crops and, in this way, to a higher yield. On the contrary, a more developed root system can give as result greater resistance to biotic and / or abiotic stress. However, these interdependencies and interactions are not fully known or fully understood.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the yield of the plant increases with increasing tolerance to environmental stress of a plant, in particular, tolerance to abiotic stress. In general, the term "greater stress tolerance" can be defined as plant survival and / or higher yield yield under stress conditions, as compared to a control plant: For example, the plant of the invention is better adapted to the stress conditions. "Better adaptation" to environmental stresses, such as drought, heat, nutrient depletion, freezing temperatures and / or frost, refers to a better performance of the plant that results in higher yields, in particular , with respect to one or more of the features related to performance, as defined in greater detail above.

During its life cycle, a plant usually faces various environmental conditions. Any of these conditions, which may have, in certain circumstances, an impact on the performance of the plant, are referred to in the present "stress" condition. The types of environmental stress can generally be divided into biotic and abiotic (environmental) stress. Unfavorable nutrient conditions are sometimes referred to as "environmental stress". In one embodiment, the present invention also contemplates solutions for this type of environmental stress, for example, in relation to greater efficiency in the use of nutrients.

For the purposes of the description of the present invention, the terms "better tolerance to stress", "better resistance to environmental stress", "better tolerance to environmental stress", "better adaptation to environmental stress" and other similar variations and expressions in their meaning are used indistinctly and refer, without limitation, to a better tolerance to one or more types of environmental stress, as described herein, and in comparison with a corresponding control plant.

The term tolerance to abiotic stress refers, for example, tolerance to low temperature, tolerance to drought or better efficiency in the use of water (WUE), tolerance to heat, tolerance to stress by salinity and others. The stress tolerance of plants, such as stress tolerance due to low temperature, drought, heat or salinity, can have an important common point for plant growth, namely, the availability of water. During their life cycle, plants are typically exposed to conditions where the environmental water content is reduced. The protection strategies are similar to those of frost tolerance.

Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, said feature related to performance refers to a greater efficiency in the use of water of the plant of the invention and / or a greater tolerance to drought conditions of the plant of the invention. the invention. Water use efficiency (WUE) is a parameter that is often correlated with tolerance to drought. An increase in biomass in conditions of low water availability can be due to relatively improved growth efficiency or low water consumption. When selecting traits to improve crops, a decrease in water use, without a change in growth, would be particularly important in an irrigated agricultural system in which water costs are high. An increase in growth without a corresponding increase in water use would be applicable in all agricultural systems. In many agricultural systems in which the water supply is not limiting, an increase in growth, even if it is at the expense of an increase in water use, also increases yield.

In an embodiment of the present invention, a higher yield of the plant is achieved by increasing the "efficiency in the use of nutrients of a plant", for example, by improving the efficiency in the use of nutrients that include, but not they are limited to, phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. In one embodiment, a greater efficiency in the use of nutrients is a better absorption, assimilation, accumulation or utilization of nitrogen. These complex processes are associated with the absorption, translocation, assimilation and redistribution of nitrogen in the plant.

It has been pointed out that the aforementioned effects of the method according to the invention, that is, better health of the plant, are also present when the plant is not under conditions of biotic stress, for example, when the plant is not under fungi pressure or pests. It is evident that a plant that suffers the attack of fungi or insects produces lower biomass and lower crop yield in comparison with a plant that has been subjected to a preventive or curative treatment against the plague or the pathogenic fungus and that can grow without the damage caused by the biotic stress factor. However, the method according to the invention leads to a better health of the plant, even in the absence of any biotic stress and, in particular, of any pest or phytopathogenic fungus. This means that the positive effects of the method of the invention can not be explained solely by the activity pesticide of the compounds of the invention, but are based on other activity profiles.

The term "plant", as used herein, encompasses whole plants and their progeny, and parts of plants, including seeds, shoots, stems, leaves, roots (including tubers), flowers and tissues, and organs.

For the purposes of the invention, as a rule, the plural is intended to encompass the singular and vice versa.

Tolerance to herbicides can be achieved by creating desensitization at the site of action of the herbicide by the expression of a white enzyme that is resistant to the herbicide; rapid metabolization (conjugation or degradation) of the herbicide by the expression of enzymes that inactivate the herbicide; or poor absorption and translocation of the herbicide. Examples are the expression of enzymes that are tolerant to the herbicide compared to the wild-type enzymes, such as the expression of 5-enolpyruvylshikimato-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), which is glyphosate tolerant (see, for example, Heck et al. al, Crop Sci 45, 2005, 329-339, Funke et al, PNAS 103, 2006, 13010-13015, US 5188642, US 4940835, US 5633435, US 5804425, US 5627061), the expression of glutamine synthase which is tolerant to glufosinate and bialaphos (see, for example, US 5646024, US 5561236) and DNA constructs encoding enzymes that degrade dicamba (see, for example, US 7105724). Gene constructs can be obtained, for example, from microorganisms or plants, which are tolerant to said herbicides, such as the CP4 EPSPS strain of Agrobacterium which is resistant to glyphosate; Streptomyces bacteria that are resistant to glufosinate; Arabidopsis, Daucus carota, Pseudomonoas spp. or Zea mais with chimeric gene sequences encoding HDDP (see, for example, WO 1996/38567, WO 2004/55191); Arabidopsis thaliana which is resistant to protox inhibitors (see, for example, US 2002/0073443).

The methods for producing such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the aforementioned publications.

Plants that are capable of synthesizing one or more bacterial toxins that act selectively comprise, for example, at least one toxin of the toxin-producing bacteria, especially those of the genus Bacillus, in particular plants capable of synthesizing one or more Bacillus insecticidal proteins. cereus or Bacillus popliae; or Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal proteins, such as delta. endotoxins, for example, CrylA (b), CrylA (c), CryIF, CrylF (a2), CryllA (b), CryIIIA, CrylNB (bl) or Cry9c, or vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), for example, VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A; or insecticidal proteins from bacteria-colonizing nematodes, for example, Photorhabdus spp. or Xenorhabdus spp., such as Photorhabdus luminescens, Xenorhabdus nematophilus; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins and other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such as Streptomycetes toxins, plant lectins, such as peas lectins, barley lectins or winter chime lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin inhibitors, cystatin, papain; proteins that inactivate ribosomes (RIP), such as ricin, corn RIP, abrin, lufina, saporin or bryodin; Enzymes of steroid metabolism, such as 3-hydroxysterodeoxydase, ecdysteroid-UDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors, HMG-COA-reductase, ion channel blockers, such as sodium or calcium channel blockers , esterase of juvenile hormone, receptors of diuretic hormone, stilbene synthase, bibencil synthase, chitinases and glucanases.

In one embodiment, a plant is capable of producing toxin, lectin or inhibitor if it contains at least one cell comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding said toxin, lectin, inhibitor or enzyme that produces inhibitors, and said nucleic acid sequence it is transcribed and translated and, if appropriate, the resulting protein is processed and / or secreted constitutively or subjected to the development, inducible or tissue-specific regulation.

In the context of the present invention, the delta should be interpreted.- endotoxins, for example, CrylA (b), Cr lA (c), CrylF, CrylF (a2), CryllA (b), CryIIIA, CrylllB (bl) or Cry9c, or vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), eg, VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A, specifically also hybrid toxins, truncated toxins and modified toxins. The hybrid toxins are produced recombinantly by a new combination of different domains of those proteins (see, for example, WO 02/15701). An example of a truncated toxin is a truncated CrylA (b), which is expressed in the Bt11 maize of Syngenta Seed SAS, as described below. In the case of the modified toxins, one or more amino acids of the natural toxin are replaced. In said amino acid replacements, protease recognition sequences present in an unnatural form are preferably inserted into the toxin, such as, for example, in the case of CrylllA055, a cathepsin-D recognition sequence is inserted into a CryIIIA toxin ( see, WO 2003/018810).

Examples of said toxins or transgenic plants capable of synthesizing said toxins are described, for example, in EP-A-0 374 753, WO 93/07278, WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 427 529, EP-A- 451 878 and WO 2003/052073.

Cryl-type deoxyribonucleic acids and their preparation are known, for example, from WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 367 474, EP-A-0 401 979 and WO 1990/13651.

The toxin contained in transgenic plants gives plants tolerance to harmful insects. These insects can be present in any taxonomic group of insects, but it is common to find them especially in beetles (Coleoptera), two-winged insects (Diptera) and butterflies (Lepidoptera).

Plants that are capable of synthesizing antipathogenic substances that have a selective action are, for example, plants that express the so-called "pathogenesis-related proteins" (PRP, see, for example, EP-A-0 392 225) or the so-called " antifungal proteins "(AFP, see, for example, US 6864068). Several antifungal proteins with activity against the plant pathogenic fungi have been isolated from certain plant species and are of general knowledge. Examples of said antipathogenic substances and transgenic plants capable of synthesizing said antipathogenic substances are known, for example, from EP-A-0 392 225, WO 93/05153, WO 95/33818 and EP-A-0 353 191. The plants Transgenic plants that are resistant to fungal, viral and bacterial pathogens are produced by the introduction of resistant plant genes. Numerous resistant genes have been identified, isolated and used to improve plant resistance, such as the N gene that was introduced into lines of tobacco susceptible to the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) in order to produce tobacco plants resistant to TMV ( see, for example, US 5571706), the Prf gene, which was introduced into plants to obtain better resistance to pathogens (see, for example, WO 199802545) and the Rps2 gene from Arabidopsis thaliana, which was used to create resistance to bacterial pathogens, including Pseudomonas syringae (see, for example, WO 199528423). Plants were obtained that exhibited a systemic acquired resistance response by introducing a nucleic acid molecule encoding the TIR domain of the N gene (see, for example, US 6630618). Other examples of known resistant genes are the Xa21 gene, which was introduced into several rice cultivars (see, for example, US 5952485, US 5977434, WO 1999/09151, WO 1996/22375), the Regi gene for resistance to colletotrichum ( see, for example, US 2006/225152), the prp1 gene (see, for example, US 5859332, WO 2008/017706), the ppv-cp gene for providing resistance to plum pox virus (see, for example, US Pat.

In one embodiment, the process of the present invention uses transgenic plants, their parts, cells or organelles.

For the purposes of the invention, "transgenic", "transgene" or "recipient" means, in relation for example to a nucleic acid sequence, an expression cassette, a gene construct or a vector comprising the nucleic acid sequence or a organism transformed with the sequences of nucleic acids, expression cassettes or vectors, all those constructions obtained by recombinant methods in which (a) nucleic acid sequences encoding proteins useful in the methods of the invention, or (b) sequence (s) of genetic control that is operably linked to the nucleic acid sequence according to the invention, for example a promoter, or (c) a) and b) they are not found in their natural genetic environment or were modified by recombinant methods, where it is possible that the modification is, for example, a substitution, addition, elimination, inversion or insertion of one or more nucleotide residues. Natural genetic environment means the natural chromosomal or genomic locus in the original plant and can be deduced from the presence in a genomic library. In the case of a genomic library, the natural genetic environment of the nucleic acid sequence is preferably retained, at least in part. The environment flanks the nucleic acid sequence on at least one side and has a sequence length of at least 50 bp, preferably at least 500 bp, preferably especially at least 1000 bp, most preferably at least 5000 bp. A natural expression cassette - for example the natural combination of the natural promoter of the nucleic acid sequences with the corresponding nucleic acid sequence - is transformed into a cassette of transgenic expression when this expression cassette is modified by non-natural, synthetic methods ( "artificial") such as, for example, mutagenic treatment. Suitable methods are described, for example, in US 5565350 or WO 2000/15815.

Therefore, for the purposes of the invention, a transgenic plant means, as indicated above, that the nucleic acids are not found in their natural locus in the genome of said plant, it being possible for the nucleic acids to be expressed in a homologous manner or heterologous However, transgenic also means that the nucleic acids according to the invention are located in their natural position in the genome of an organism, but that the sequence, for example, the coding sequence or a regulatory sequence, for example the sequence of the promoter, was modified compared to the natural sequence. Preferably, transgenic means the expression of the nucleic acids at a non-natural locus in the genome, i.e. homologous or, preferably, heterologous expression of the nucleic acids takes place. Preferred transgenic plants are mentioned herein.

These transgenic plants can be any listed in Table A, such as any of A- to A-56. Likewise, the transgenic plants used in the process of the invention can comprise as transgen one or several of the genes listed in Table B .

However, the process of the present invention is not limited to transgenic plants and also to these transgenic plants. Other transgenic plants suitable for the process of the present invention can be generated by methods known in the art. In the next sectionExemplary methods for producing transgenic plants suitable for the process of the present invention are exemplified in a non-limiting manner. The person skilled in the art knows that the methods used to produce the transgenic plants are not crucial for the use of said plants for carrying out the present invention.

The term "introduction" or "transformation", as indicated herein, encompasses the transfer of an exogenous polynucleotide to a host cell, regardless of the method used for the transfer. In particular, with respect to the transgenic plants, "transformation" or "transformed" preferably refers to the transfer of an exogenous polynucleotide to a host cell, independently of the method used for the transfer.

Transformation methods include the use of liposomes, electroporation, chemicals that increase the absorption of free DNA, injection of DNA directly into the plant, particle bombardment, transformation using viruses or pollen, and microprojection. The methods can be selected from the calcium / polyethylene glycol method for protoplasts (Krens, F.A. et al., (1982) Nature 296, 72-74; Negrutiu I et al. (1987) Plant Mol Biol 8: 363-373); protoplast electroporation (Shillito R.D. et al. (1985) Bio / Technol 3, 1099-1 102); microinjection in the plant material (Crossway A et al., (1986) Mol Gen Genet 202: 179-185); bombardment of particles coated with DNA or RNA (Klein TM et al., (1987) Nature 327: 70) virus infection (non-iritegrative) and the like. Transgenic plants, including transgenic crop plants, are preferably produced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.

For example, a suitable vector, for example a binary vector, can be transformed into a suitable Agrobacterium strain, for example LBA4044, according to methods known in the art. Said transformed Agrobacterium can then be used to transform plant cells, as described in the following examples.

Example I: Examples of transformation of plants Rice transformation The Agrobacterium that contains the expression vector is used to transform Oryza sativa plants. The husks of mature dry seeds are removed from the Japanese rice cultivar Nipponbare. Sterilization is performed by incubation for one minute in 70% ethanol, followed by 30 minutes in 0.2% HgCI2, followed by 6 washes of 15 minutes with sterile distilled water. The sterile seeds are then germinated in a medium containing 2,4-D (callus induction medium). After incubation in the dark for four weeks, embryogenic callus, scutelle derivatives, are extracted and propagated in the same medium. After two weeks, the calluses multiply or spread by subculture in the same medium for another 2 weeks. The embryogenic callus pieces are subcultured in fresh medium 3 days before of cocultivation (to stimulate cell division activity).

Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 containing the expression vector is used for cocultivation. Agrobacterium is inoculated in an AB medium with the appropriate antibiotics and cultivated for 3 days at 28 ° C. The bacteria are then collected and suspended in a liquid coculture medium at a density (OD600) of about 1. The suspension is then transferred to a Petri dish and the calli are immersed in the suspension for 15 minutes. The callus tissues are then dried on a filter paper and transferred to a solidified coculture medium, and incubated for 3 days in the dark at 25 ° C. The co-cultured calli are cultured in a medium containing 2,4-D for 4 weeks in the dark at 28 ° C in the presence of a selection agent. During this period, islands of resistant calluses develop rapidly. After transferring this material to a medium of regeneration and incubation to light, the embryogenic potential is released and shoots develop in the following four to five weeks. The callus shoots are removed and incubated for 2 to 3 weeks in an auxin-containing medium from which they are transferred to the soil. Hardened shoots are grown under high humidity conditions and short days in a greenhouse.

About 35 independent T0 rice transformants are generated for one construction. The primary transformants are transferred from a tissue culture chamber to a greenhouse. After a quantitative PCR analysis to verify the copy quantity of the T-DNA insert, only the single copy transgenic plants that are tolerant to the selection agent for harvesting the T1 seed are conserved. The seeds are then harvested three to five months after the transplant. The method produced single-locus transformants in a proportion of more than 50% (Aldemita and Hodges1996, Chan et al., 1993, Hiei et al., 1994).

About 35 independent TO rice transformations are generated. The primary transformants are transferred from a tissue culture chamber to a greenhouse for the cultivation and harvest of the T1 seed. Six events are retained, of which the progeny of T1 segregated 3: 1 for the presence / absence of the transgene. For each of these events, approximately 10 T1 seedlings containing the transgene (hetero- and homozygous) and approximately 10 T1 seedlings that do not have the transgene (nulicigotes) are selected to monitor the expression of the visual marker.

Corn transformation The transformation of corn (Zea mays) is carried out with a modification of the method described by Ishida et al. (1996) Nature Biotech 14 (6): 745-50. The transformation depends on the genotype in the maize and only specific genotypes can be transformed and regenerated. The inbred line A188 (University of Minnesota) or hybrids with A188 as a parent are good sources of donor material for transformation, but other genotypes can also be used successfully. The ears are harvested from the corn plant about 1 1 days after pollination (DAP) when the immature embryo has a length of about 1 to 1, 2 mm. The immature embryos are co-cultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens which contains the expression vector, and the transgenic plants are recovered by means of organogenesis. The extracted embryos are grown in callus induction medium, then in corn regeneration medium, which contains the selection agent (for example, imidazolinone, but several selection markers can be used). Petri dishes are incubated in light at 25 ° C for 2-3 weeks or until buds develop. The green shoots are transferred from each embryo to the rooting medium of corn and incubated at 25 ° C for 2-3 weeks, until the roots develop. The shoots with roots are transplanted to soil in the greenhouse. T1 seeds are produced from plants that exhibit tolerance to the selection agent and that contain a single copy of the T-DNA insert.

Wheat transformation The transformation of the wheat is done with the method described by Ishida et al. (1996) Nature Biotech 14 (6): 745-50. The Bobwhite cultivar (available from CIMMYT, Mexico) is commonly used in processing. The immature embryos are co-cultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens which contains the expression vector and the transgenic plants are recovered by means of organogenesis. After incubation with Agrobacterium, the embryos are cultured in vitro in callus induction medium, then in regeneration medium, which contains the selection agent (for example, imidazolinone, but several selection markers can be used). Petri dishes are incubated in light at 25 ° C for 2-3 weeks or until buds develop. The green shoots are transferred from each embryo to the rooting medium and incubated at 25 ° C for 2-3 weeks, until the roots develop. The shoots with roots are transplanted to soil in the greenhouse. T1 seeds are produced from plants that exhibit tolerance to the selection agent and that contain a single copy of the T-DNA insert.

Soybean transformation The soybean is transformed according to a modification of the method described in US Pat. No. 5,164,310 of Texas A &; M. Various varieties of commercial soybeans are susceptible to transformation with this method. The cultivar Jack (available from the Illinois Seed Foundation) is commonly used for processing. Soybeans are sterilized for in vitro planting. The hypocotyl, the radicle and a cotyledon of seven-day-old seedlings are extracted. The epicotyl and the remaining cotyledon are further cultured to develop axillary nodules. These axillary nodules are extracted and incubated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens which contains the expression vector. After the cocultivation treatment, the explants are washed and transferred to the selection medium. The regenerated shoots are removed and placed in a shoot extension medium. The shoots whose length does not exceed 1 cm are placed in the middle of rooting until the roots develop. The shoots with roots are transplanted to soil in the greenhouse. T1 seeds are produced from plants that exhibit tolerance to the selection agent and that contain a single copy of the T-DNA insert.

Rapeseed / canola transformation Cotyledonary petioles and hypocotyls of young 5-6 day old seedlings are used as explants for tissue culture and transformed according to Babic et al. (1998, Plant Cell Rep 17: 183-188). The commercial cultivar Westar (Agriculture Canada) is the standard variety used for processing, but other varieties can also be used. Canola seeds are sterilized on the surface for in vitro sowing. The explants of cotyledonary petioles with the cotyledon attached are extracted from the in vitro plantlets and inoculated with Agrobacterium (which contains the expression vector) by immersing the cut end of the petiole explant in the bacterial suspension. The explants are then cultured for 2 days in MSBAP-3 medium containing 3 mg / l of BAP, 3% of sucrose, 0.7% of Phytagar at 23 ° C, 16 hs of light. After two days of cocultivation with Agrobacterium, the petiole explants are transferred to MSBAP-3 medium containing 3 mg / l of BAP, cefotaxime, carbenicillin or timentin (300 mg / l) for 7 days, and then cultivated in medium. MSBAP-3 with cefotaxime, carbenicillin or timentina and agent of selection until the regeneration of the shoots. When the shoots are 5-10 mm in length, they are cut and transferred to shoot extension medium (MSBAP-0.5, which contains 0.5 mg / l BAP). The shoots of around 2 cm in length are transferred to the rooting medium (MSO) for the induction of roots. The shoots with roots are transplanted to soil in the greenhouse. T1 seeds are produced from plants that exhibit tolerance to the selection agent and that contain a single copy of the T-DNA insert.

Transformation of alfalfa An alfalfa regenerative clone (Medicago sativa) is transformed with the method of (McKersie et al., 1999 Plant Physiol 119: 839-847). The regeneration and transformation of alfalfa depend on the genotype and, therefore, a regenerative plant is required. Methods for obtaining regenerative plants have been described. For example, these can be selected from the cultivar Rangelander (Agriculture Canada) or from any other variety of commercial alfalfa as described by Brown DCW and A Atanassov (1985. Plant Cell Tissue Organ Culture 4: 1 1 1-1 12). Alternatively, variety RA3 (University of Wisconsin) was selected for use in tissue culture (Walker et al., 1978 Am J Bot 65: 654-659). The petiole explants are co-cultured, overnight, with a culture of Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58C1 pMP90 (McKersie et al., 1999 Plant Physiol 1 19: 839-847) or LBA4404 containing the expression vector. The explants are co-cultured for 3 days in the dark in SH induction medium containing 288 mg / L of Pro, 53 mg / L of thioproline, 4.35 g / L of K2S04 and 100 m of acetosyringinone. The explants are washed in medium concentration Murashige-Skoog medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) and plated on the same SH induction medium without acetosyrininone but with a suitable selection agent and suitable antibiotic to inhibit the growth of Agrobacterium. After several weeks, the somatic embryos are transferred to BOÍ2Y development medium that does not contain growth regulators, nor antibiotics and 50 g / L of sucrose. Subsequently, the somatic embryos are germinated in Murashige-Skoog medium concentration medium. The seedlings with roots are transplanted into pots and grown in a greenhouse. T1 seeds are produced from plants that exhibit tolerance to the selection agent and that contain a single copy of the T-DNA insert.

Cotton transformation The cotton is transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens according to the method described in US 5,159,135. The cotton seeds are sterilized on the surface in 3% sodium hypochlorite solution for 20 minutes and washed in distilled water with 500 mg / ml cefotaxime. The seeds are then transferred to the SH medium with 50 g / ml of benomyl for germination. The hypocotyls are extracted from the seedlings that have 4 to 6 days, cut into pieces of 0.5 cm and placed on 0.8% agar. A suspension of Agrobacterium (approximately 108 cells per ml, diluted from an overnight culture transformed with the gene of interest and suitable selection markers) is used for the inoculation of the hypocotyl explants. After 3 days at room temperature and light, the tissues are transferred to a solid medium (1.6 g / l Gelrite) with Murashige and Skoog salts with vitamins B5 (Gamborg et al., Exp. Cell Res. 50: 151 -158 (1968)), 0.1 mg / l of 2,4-D, 0.1 mg / l of 6-furfurylaminopurine and 750 pg / ml of MgCL2, and with 50 to 100 g / ml of cefotaxime and 400 -500 g / ml carbenicillin to eliminate residual bacteria. Individual cell lines are isolated after two to three months (with subcultures every four to six weeks) and further cultured in a selective medium for tissue amplification (30 ° C, 16 hr photoperiod). Subsequently, the transformed tissues are further cultured in non-selective medium for 2 to 3 months so that somatic embryos are generated. Healthy-looking embryos of at least 4 mm in length are transferred to tubes with SH medium in fine vermiculite, supplemented with 0.1 mg / l indole acetic acid, 6 furfurylaminopurine and gibberellic acid. The embryos are grown at 30 ° C with a photoperiod of 16 hours, and the seedlings in the 2 to 3 leaf stage are transferred to pots with vermiculite and nutrients. The plants become more resistant and later they are transferred to the greenhouse to continue the cultivation. # Transformation of Arabidopsis plants Approximately 30-60 ng of prepared vector and a defined amount of amplified preparation are mixed and hybridized at 65 ° C for 15 minutes followed by 37 ° C 0.1 ° C / 1 second, followed by 37 ° C 10 minutes, followed of 0, 1 ° C / 1 second, then 4-10 ° C.

The ligated constructs are transformed into the same reaction vessel by the addition of competent E. coli cells (strain DH5alpha) and incubation for 20 minutes at 1 ° C followed by thermal shock for 90 seconds at 42 ° C and cooling to 1 -4 ° C. Then, the complete medium (SOC) is added and the mixture is incubate for 45 minutes at 37 ° C. Subsequently, the whole mixture is placed on an agar plate with 0.05 mg / ml kanamycin and incubated overnight at 37 ° C.

The result of the cloning step is verified by amplification with the help of primers that are connected upstream and downstream of the integration site, thus allowing the amplification of the insertion. The amplifications are performed as described in the Taq DNA polymerase protocol (Gibco-BRL).

The amplification cycles are the following: 1 cycle of 1-5 minutes at 94 ° C, followed by 35 cycles, in each case, 15-60 seconds at 94 ° C, 15-60 seconds at 50-66 ° C and 5-15 minutes at 72 ° C , followed by 1 cycle of 10 minutes at 72 ° C, then 4-16 ° C.

Several colonies are controlled, but only a colony in which a PCR product of the expected size is detected is used in the following steps.

A portion of this positive colony is transferred to a reaction vessel filled with the complete medium (LB) supplemented with kanamycin and incubated overnight at 37 ° C.

The preparation of the plasmid is carried out as specified in the standard protocol Qiaprep or NucleoSpin Multi-96 Plus (Qiagen or acherey-Nagel).

Generation of transgenic plants 1-5 ng of the isolated plasmid DNA is transformed by electroporation or transformation into competent cells of Agrobacterium tumefaciens of the strain GV 3 01 pMP90 (Koncz and Schell, Mol.Gen.G204.383 (1986)). Then, the complete medium (YEP) is added and the mixture is transferred to a new reaction vessel for 3 hours at 28 ° C. Subsequently, the entire reaction mixture is placed on YEP agar plates supplemented with the respective antibiotics, for example rifampicin (0.1 mg / ml), gentamicin (0.025 mg / ml and kanamycin (0.05 mg / ml) and it is incubated for 48 hours at 28 ° C.

The agrobacteria that contain the plasmid construct are then used for the transformation of the plants.

A colony of the agar plate is collected with the aid of the tip of a pipette and absorbed in 3 ml of liquid TB medium, which also contains suitable antibiotics as described above. The preculture is cultured for 48 hours at 28 ° C 120 rpm. 400 ml of the LB medium containing the same antibiotics as indicated above for the main culture are used. The preculture is transferred to the main crop. It is grown for 18 hours at 28 ° C and 120 rpm. After centrifugation at 4,000 rpm, the pellet is resuspended in the infiltration medium (MS medium, 10% sucrose).

To grow the plants for transformation, plates are filled halfway (Piki Saat 80, green, provided with an observation filter, 30 x 20 x 4.5 cm, from Wiesauplast, Kunststofftechnik, Germany) with a GS 90 substrate ( standard floor, Werkverband EV, Germany). The plates are watered overnight with 0.05% Proplant solution (Chimac-Apriphar, Belgium). Seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana C24 (Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Center, UK, NASC Stock N906) are dispersed on the plate, approximately 1000 seeds per plate. The plates are covered with a hood and placed in the stratification system (8 hours, 1 10 pmol / m2s1, 22 ° C, 16 hours, darkness, 6 ° C). After 5 days, the plates are placed in a controlled environment chamber for short days (8 hours, 130 pmol / m2s1, 22 ° C, 16 hours, darkness, 20 ° C), where they remain for approximately 10 days until they are they form the first true leaves.

The seedlings are transferred to pots containing the same substrate (Teku pots, 7 cm, LC series, manufactured by Póppelmann GmbH &Co., Germany). Five plants are transplanted to each pot. Then the pots return to the controlled environment chamber of short days so that the plant continues to grow.

After 10 days, the plants are transferred to the greenhouse cabinet (complementary lighting, 16 hours, 340 pE / m2s, 22 ° C, 8 hours, darkness, 20 ° C), where they are allowed to grow for 17 more days.

For the transformation, 6-week-old Arabidopsis plants, which had just started to flower, were immersed for 10 seconds in the suspension of agrobacteria described above that had been previously treated with 10 μ? of Silwett L77 (Crompton S.A., Osi Specialties, Switzerland). The method in question is described by Clough J.C. and Bent A.F. (Plant J. 16, 735 (1998)).

Then, the plants are placed in a humid chamber for 18 hours.

Later, the pots return to the greenhouse so that the plants continue to grow. The plants remain in the greenhouse for another 10 weeks until the seeds are ready for harvest.

According to the resistance marker used for the selection of the transformed plants, the harvested seeds are planted in the greenhouse and subjected to a selection by spray or first sterilized and then grown on agar plates supplemented with the respective selection agent. Because the vector contains the bar gene as resistance marker, the plants are sprayed four times in a range of 2 to 3 days with 0.02% BASTA® and the transformed plants are allowed to produce seeds.

The seeds of A. thaliana transgenic plants are stored in the freezer (at -20 ° C).

Example II: Application of a carboxamide compound selected from the group consisting of boscalid, (N- (3 ', 4', 5'-trifluorobiphenyl-2-yl) -3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1 H-pyrazole- 4-carboxamide), bixafen, penflufen (N- [2- (1, 3-dimethylbutyl) -phenyl] -1, 3-dimethyl-5-fluoro-1 H -pyrazole-4-carboxamide), fluopyram, sedaxane, isopyrazam , pentiopyrad, benodanil, carboxin, fenfuram, flutolanil, furametpir, mepronil, oxycarboxine and tifluzamide.

II. A Seed treatments The control and cultivated corn seeds of the T2 generation are treated with deionized water (Blank), from 10 grams to 200 grams of a carboxamide compound; all formulation rates are grams / 100 kg of seed. Each formulation is applied to approximately 80 seeds. The formulation is pipetted into a 125 ml container along the sides and bottom of the container before adding the seeds and shaking the container for 30 seconds. The coated seeds are then removed from the container and placed on a plastic plate to dry.

Seventy-five 3-L pots are filled by treatment with potting media, labeled with colored sticks and assigned a unique bar code. One seed is planted per pot in a depth of about 2 cm and covered with the medium. The medium is gently watered to imbibe the seeds, while allowing ample oxygen exchange so that the chemical coatings of the seeds remain intact. After planting, the pots are randomly distributed in three replica blocks (1 bank = 1 block), each with 25 plants of each treatment.

The plants are kept in a greenhouse under optimal conditions and abundant irrigation (80-90% of the field capacity) after emergence. Supplemental nutrients are administered every three days during irrigation. The temperature of the greenhouse is maintained at 30 ° C, relative humidity 75% and light at 350 μ? a ?? m "2s" 1, in a photoperiod of 15 hours of day / 9 hours of night. Supplemental light is provided with metal halide lamps. Once a week, the pots are mixed randomly inside each block.

On day 21, the plants are photographed to collect the phenotypic data as described in WO2008 / 129060.

II. B Plant treatments The cultivation of plants, their treatment with fungicides and the evaluation of the fungicidal activity are known to those skilled in the art. The treatment of plants with carboxamides and the determination of infection after treatment are described, for example, in EP0545099, WO200307075, WO2006087343, WO200435589, EP846416, DE19629828, WO2003010149, EP1313709, JP 2000-342183, EP1 1 10956, WO200142223, WO2000. / 09482, WO200366609, WO200374491, WO200435555, WO200439799 and EP915868.

III. Evaluation III. A Procedure for evaluating rice plants subjected to the process of the present invention 1 Preparation of the evaluation The cultivated plants and the corresponding controls are grown side by side in random positions. The greenhouse conditions are of short days (12 hours of light), 28 ° C in the light and 22 ° C in the dark and relative humidity of 70%. Plants grown under stress-free conditions are irrigated at regular intervals to ensure that water and nutrients are not limiting and to meet the needs of plants to complete their growth and development.

From the sowing stage to the maturity stage, the plants are passed several times through a digital image taking cabinet. At each point of time, digital images (2048x1536 pixels, 16 million colors) of each plant are taken from at least 6 different angles. 2 Statistical analysis: Test F ANOVA (variant analysis) of two factors is used as a statistical model for the general evaluation of the phenotypic characteristics of the plant. An F test is carried out on all the measured parameters of all the plants. The threshold of significance for a global and true gene effect is set at a 5% probability level for the F test. 3 Measured parameters Measurement of parameters related to biomass From the sowing stage to the maturity stage, the plants are passed several times through a digital image taking cabinet. At each point of time, digital images (2048x1536 pixels, 16 million colors) of each plant are taken from at least 6 different angles.

The aerial area of the plant (or biomass of the foliage) is determined by counting the total number of pixels in the digital images of the aerial parts of the plants differentiated from the bottom. This value is averaged for photos taken at the same time point from different angles and converted to a physical surface value expressed in square mm per calibration. The experiments show that the aerial area of the plant measured in this way correlates with the biomass of the aerial parts of the plant. The aerial area is the area measured at the point of time at which the plant has reached its maximum foliage biomass. Early vigor is the aerial area of the plant (seedling) three weeks after germination. The increase in root biomass is expressed as an increase in the total biomass of the root (measured as the maximum root biomass observed during the life cycle of a plant); or as an increase in root / shoot index (measured as the ratio of root mass to shoot mass during the period of active root and shoot growth).

Early vigor is determined by counting the total number of pixels of the aerial parts of the plants differentiated from the bottom. This value is averaged for photos taken at the same time point from different angles and converted to a physical surface value expressed in square mm per calibration.

Measurement of parameters related to the seed The mature primary panicles are harvested, counted, bagged, labeled with bar codes and then dried for three days in an oven at 37 ° C. Then the panicles are threshed, and all the seeds are collected and counted. The filled shells are separated from the empty ones with an air blowing device. The empty shells are discarded and the remaining fraction is counted again. The full shells are weighed on an analytical balance. The amount of filled seeds is determined by counting the amount of filled shells remaining after the separation step. The total yield of the seeds is measured by weighing all the full husks harvested from a plant. The total amount of seeds per plant is measured by counting the amount of husks harvested from a plant. The weight of a thousand grains (TKW) is extrapolated from the amount of filled seeds counted and their total weight. The harvest index (Hl) in the present invention is defined as the ratio between the total yield of the seed and the aerial area (mm2), multiplied by a factor of 106. The total amount of flowers per panicle, as defined in present invention, is the relationship between the total amount of seeds and the quantity of mature primary panicles. The seed filling rate, as defined in the present invention, is the ratio (expressed as%) of the amount of filled seeds to the total amount of seeds (or florets).

Example III: B: Evaluation procedure of Arabidopsis plants subjected to the process of the present invention Analysis of plants to determine the increase in yield under standardized growth conditions.

In this experiment, an analysis of the plants can be performed to determine the yield increase (in this case: increased biomass yield) under standardized growth conditions in the absence of substantial abiotic stress. In a standard experiment, the soil is prepared as a 3.5: 1 (v / v) mixture of nutrient-rich soil (GS90, Tantau, Wansdorf, Germany) and quartz sand. Alternatively, plants can be planted in nutrient-rich soil (GS90, Tantau, Germany). The pots can be filled with soil mix and placed in trays. Water can be added to the trays so that the soil mix absorbs an adequate amount of water for the planting procedure. The seeds of transgenic plants of A. thaliana and their controls, for example non-transgenic wild type, can be planted in pots (6 cm in diameter). The stratification can be established for a period of 3-4 days in the dark at 4 ° C-5 ° C. Seed germination and growth can be initiated with a growth condition of 20 ° C and approximately 60% of Relative humidity, photoperiod of 16 hs and illumination with fluorescent light at approximately 200 mol / m2s.

In case the transgenic seeds are not uniformly transgenic, a selection step can be carried out, for example selection BASTA. This can be done on day 10 or day 1 1 (9 or 10 days after sowing) by spraying from the top of the seedlings that are in the pots. In the standard experiment, a 0.07% (v / v) solution of BASTA concentrate (183 g / l glufosinate-ammonium) can be sprayed once in tap water or, alternatively, a solution can be sprayed three times at 0.02% (v / v) of BASTA. Wild-type control plants can be sprayed only with tap water (instead of spraying them with BASTA dissolved in tap water), but in the remainder of the process they can be treated identically.

Plants can be individualized 13-14 days after sowing by removing excess seedlings and leaving a seedling in the soil. Transgenic events and control plants can be distributed evenly in the chamber.

Irrigation can be done every two days after removing the blankets in a standard experiment or, alternatively, every day.

The treatment with formulations of active ingredients can be carried out as described in this application or by any known method.

To measure the biomass yield, the fresh weight of the plant can be determined at the time of harvest (24-29 days after planting) when cutting and weighing the shoots. At the time of harvest, the plants may be in the pre-bloom stage and prior to the inflorescence growth. The transgenic plants can be compared with the wild-type, non-transgenic control plants, which can be harvested on the same day. The significance values for the statistical significance of the biomass changes can be calculated by applying the Student's t test (parameters: bilateral, unequal variation).

Two different types of experimental procedures are performed: -Procedure 1). 3-4 independent transgenic lines (= events) are evaluated per transgenic construct (22-30 plants per construct) and the biomass yield can be evaluated as described above.

-Procedure 2.) Up to five lines can be evaluated per transgenic construct at successive experimental levels (up to 4). Only the constructs that show a positive performance are subjected to the next experimental level. Usually, at the first level, five plants can be evaluated per construct and at subsequent levels 30-60 plants can be evaluated. The yield of the biomass can be evaluated as described above. The data of this type of experiment (Procedure 2) are indicated for the constructs that show the highest biomass yield, at least in two successive experimental levels.

The production of biomass can be measured by weighing the rosettes of the plants. The biomass increase can be calculated as the ratio between the average weight of the transgenic plants and the average weight of the control plants of the same experiment. The average biomass increase of the transgenic ones can be indicated (value of significance <0.3 and increase of biomass> 5% (proportion> 0.05)).

The yield of the seeds can be measured by collecting all the seeds of a plant and measuring the weight of a thousand grains. Various methods are known in the art.

IV. Evaluation procedure for pest control The person skilled in the art knows suitable methods for the inoculation and evaluation of infections for different plant species and types of pathogens. The following are examples that do not limit the present invention.

IV.A. Fungicidal control of rice fungus caused by Pyrícularía oryzae (Protective action) The leaves of the rice seedlings grown in pots are sprayed until fully soaked with an aqueous suspension, which contains the concentration of the active ingredient described above. The plants are allowed to air dry. The next day, the plants are inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of Pyrícularía oryzae containing 1x106 spores / ml. The test plants are transferred immediately to a humid chamber. After 6 days at 22-24 ° C and relative atmospheric humidity close to 100%, the extent of the fungal attack on the leaves is visually assessed as% of the diseased area of the leaf.

IV.B Evaluation of susceptibility to soybean rust The fungus of soybean rust is a wild isolate of Brazil.

The plants are inoculated with P.pachyrhizi.

In order to obtain an adequate spore material for the inoculation, the soybean leaves that had been infected with the soybean rust 15-20 days before are removed 2-3 days before the inoculation and transferred to agar plates ( 1% agar in H20). The leaves are placed with the top side on the agar, which allows the fungus to grow through the tissue and produce very young spores. For the inoculation solution, the spores are detached from the leaves and added to a Tween-H20 solution. The spore count is performed with a light microscope using a Thoma counting chamber. For the inoculation of the plants, the spore suspension is added to a spray container of compressed air and applied uniformly to the plants or leaves until the surface of the leaves is considerably moistened. For microscopy, a density of 10x105 spores / ml is used. The inoculated plants are placed for 24 hours in a greenhouse chamber with an average temperature of 22 ° C and > 90% atmospheric humidity. The inoculated leaves are incubated in the same conditions in a Petri dish closed in 0.5% plant agar. The following cultivation process is carried out in a chamber with an average temperature of 250 and > 70% atmospheric humidity.

For the evaluation of the pathogenic development, the inoculated leaves of the plants are stained with blue aniline.

Blue aniline staining is used to detect fluorescent substances. During defensive reactions in interactions between hosts and in non-host interactions, substances such as phenols, callose or lignin accumulate or are produced, and are incorporated into the cell wall either locally in the papillae or in the cell complete (hypersensitivity reaction, HR). Complexes associated with blue aniline are formed, which generates, in the case of callose, yellow fluorescence. The sheet material is transferred to Falcon plates or tubes containing solution II that removes the dye (ethanol / acetic acid 6/1) and incubated in a water bath at 90 ° C for 10-15 minutes. Immediately afterwards the solution II that removes the tincture is removed and the leaves are washed 2x with water. For staining, the leaves are incubated for 1.5-2 hours in a staining solution (0.05% blue aniline = methyl blue, 0.067 M dipotassium acid phosphate) and analyzed immediately after microscopy.

The different types of interaction are evaluated (counted) by microscopy. An Olympus BX61 UV microscope (incident light) and a Longpath UV filter (excitation: 375/15, lightning splitter: 405 LP) are used. After staining with blue aniline, the spores look blue under UV light. Papillae can be recognized under fungal imprisonment by green / yellow staining. The hypersensitivity reaction (HR) is characterized by a total cellular fluorescence.

IV.C Evaluation of susceptibility to Phytophthora infestans Resistance to Phytophthora infestans can be evaluated, for example, in potatoes. Three different isolates of P. infestans are obtained from Plant Research International B.V. (Wageningen, the Netherlands).

Disease trials; leaf shedding For the leaf shedding test, leaves of plants grown for 6 to 12 weeks in the greenhouse are placed in pieces of floristry foam saturated with water, approximately 35x4x4 cm, and placed on a tray (40 cm wide, 60 cm long and 6 cm high) with perforated bottom. Each leaf is inoculated with two droplets (25 μm each) of sporangiospore solution on the abaxial side. Then, the tray is placed in a plastic bag on top of a tray, in which is placed a filter paper saturated with water, and incubated in a room of air conditioning at 17 ° C and a photoperiod of 16hs / 8hs day / night with fluorescent light (Philips TLD50W / 84HF and OSRAM L58W / 21-840). After 6 to 9 days, the leaves are evaluated to determine the development of disease symptoms caused by P. infestans.

Evaluation: It is considered that plants with leaves that clearly showed sporulation lesions 6 to 9 days after inoculation have a susceptible phenotype, while plants with leaves that showed no visible symptoms or necrosis on the side of the inoculation in the absence of a clear Sporulation are considered resistant.

IV.D Evaluation of susceptibility to Peronospora parasitica and Erysiphe cichoracearum The control of pathogenic fungi can be measured in Arabidopsis plants, for example by inoculation with the biotrophic fungus Peronospora parasitica or Erysiphe cichoracearum. a) Peronospora parasitic The plants of 5 to 8 weeks are sprayed with a suspension of spores (conidial spores, approximately 106 spores / ml).

The inoculated plants are covered with a plastic bag and kept overnight in conditions of humidity and darkness at 16 in a refrigerator. A day later, the plastic bag is opened for the first time and then, for example 6 hours later, it is completely removed. Six days after the inoculation, the plants are again placed in a plastic bag overnight. This induced sporulation. The next day, the leaves are checked to determine the appearance of Conidioforas. During the following days, the intracellular growth of the fungus results in mild chlorosis to severe necrosis in the leaves. These symptoms are quantified and evaluated to determine their importance. b) Erysiphe cichoracearum This biotrophic fungus is grown in Arabidopsis plants. To achieve infection, a soft, small brush is used to collect the Conidiophores from the infected leaves and transfer them to the leaves of 4-week-old plants. Then, these plants are incubated for 7 days at 20 ° C. Subsequently, the new Conidiophores will be visible and during the following days the chlorosis and necrosis will be visible. These symptoms are quantified and evaluated to determine their importance.

V. Results: The cultivated plants treated according to the method of the invention show greater health of the plant.

SAW. Procedure for evaluating plants subjected to the process of the present invention Experiments were carried out using carboxamide compounds BOSCALID and N- (3 ', 4', 5'-trifluorobiphenyl-2-yl) -3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide, subsequently referred to as COMPOUND 2 .

SOY In 2008, soybeans were grown in the BASF experimental station in Campiñas, San Antonio de Posse, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Soybean was planted at a planting rate of 300,000 plants per ha. The space between the rows was 45 cm. The size of the plot was 10 m2.

COMPOUND 2 was applied twice in growth stages 55/61 (BBCH) and 65/71 (BBCH) as an experimental emulsion concentrate (EC) containing 62.5 g of active ingredient per liter with a product ratio of 0.48 l / ha and 0.8 l / ha. The formulation was applied in a total spray volume of 150 l / ha.

The infection with Asian soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) was evaluated 20 days after the last treatment when calculating the infected area of the leaf in 10 randomly selected plants per plot (Tab 1). Efficacy was calculated as% decrease in infected area of the leaf in the treatments compared to the untreated control: E = (1 -a / b) · 100 a corresponds to the infected area of the leaf of the plants treated in% and b corresponds to the infected leaf area of the plants (control) not treated in% An efficacy of 0 means that the infected area of the leaf of the treated plants corresponds to that of the untreated control plants; an efficacy of 100 means that the treated plants showed a reduction in the infected area of the leaf of 100%, that is, it was not possible to detect infection of the Asian soybean rust.

In addition, the test was harvested and the grain yield and thousand grain weight (TGW) were measured (Tab 1).

Tab. Ex VI-1: Effectiveness of COMPOUND 2 against soybean rust and effect of yield * 95% Control Infection (infected area of the leaf) As shown in table 1, COMPOUND 2 has a good activity against Asian soybean rust. When treating a variety of glyphosate-tolerant transgenic soy with COMPOUND 2, this activity increases more than anticipated by the individual effects of COMPOUND 2 and the transgenic variety, respectively, in the control of soybean rust.

In addition, the treatment with COMPOUND 2 results in higher grain yield compared to the untreated control. The weight of the harvested grain of the treated soybean also increases compared to the untreated one. With respect to the effectiveness against soybean rust, when the variety of transgenic soy is treated, the yield and grain weight is much higher than anticipated by the combination of the individual effects of both the treatment with pyraclostrobin and the transgenic variety .

Therefore, synergistic effects for disease control and grain yield can be observed when combining treatment with COMPOUND 2 with a variety of transgenic soybeans.

CORN In 2008, corn was grown in the BASF experimental station in Campinas, San Antonio de Posse, San Pablo, Brazil. The variety DKB 390 was sown at a planting rate of 60,000 plants per ha. The space between the rows was 80 cm. The size of the plot was 30 m2.

COMPOUND 2 was applied once the spikes emerged (growth stage 51/55, BBCH) as an experimental emulsion concentrate (EC) containing 62.5 g of active ingredient per liter with a dosage rate of 0.8 l / ha. The formulations were applied in a total spray volume of 200 l / ha.

The infection with common rust (Puccinia sorghi) was evaluated 28 days after treatment with COMPOUND 2 (Tab.2) when calculating the infected area of the leaf in 10 plants per plot chosen at random. Efficacy was calculated as% decrease in infected area of the leaf in the treatments compared to the untreated control: E = (1-a / b) > 100 a corresponds to the infected area of the leaf of the plants treated in% and b corresponds to the infected leaf area of the plants (control) not treated in% An efficacy of 0 means that the infected area of the leaf of the treated plants corresponds to that of the untreated control plants; an efficiency of 100 means that the treated plants showed a reduction in the infected area of the leaf of 100%, that is to say, it was not possible to detect infection of common rust.

The retention by green leaves in treated and control plants was evaluated by estimating the green leaf area 28 days after treatment in 10 plants per plot, chosen at random During maturity, the plants were harvested and the grain yield and thousand grain weight (TGW) were measured (Tab.2).

Tab. Ex. VI-2: Effectiveness of COMPOUND 2 against common rust, effect on retention of green leaf tissue, grain yield and grain weight.

* Control infection 8.8% (infected area of the leaf).

As shown in table 1, COMPOUND 2 has good activity against common rust in corn. This activity is increased when transgenic corn varieties tolerant to glyphosate and / or resistant to insects are treated with COMPOUND 2 more than what can be foreseen for COMPOUND 2 and the transgenic varieties, respectively, in the control of common rust. Plants treated with COMPOUND 2 also show increased green leaf area compared to control plants. Similarly, the transgenic plants treated with COMPOUND 2 show an increase in green leaf tissue that is greater than can be expected from the combination of the effects that can be observed when using a transgenic variety or treating conventional corn with the COMPOUND 2.

In addition, the treatment with COMPOUND 2 results in higher grain yield compared to the untreated control. The weight of the grain Harvested from the treated corn also increases compared to the untreated control. The increase in yield and grain weight is much greater when the transgenic maize variety is treated than expected from the combination of the individual effects of both the COMPOUND 2 treatment and the transgenic variety. Therefore, synergistic effects for disease control and grain yield can be observed when combining treatment with COMPOUND 2 with a variety of transgenic maize.

RICE In 2008, imidazolinone-tolerant rice (Clearfield ™) was grown in Washington, 7033 Highway 103, LA, USA. The CL 161 variety was planted at a rate of 134 kg / ha. The space between the rows was 18 cm. The size of the plot was 27.5 m2.

COMPOUND 2 was applied once sprouted (growth stage 32/34, BBCH) as an emulsion experimental concentrate (EC) containing 62.5 g of active ingredient per liter with a dosage rate of 0.8 l / ha. The formulation was applied in a total spray volume of 187 l / ha.

The infection with Rhizoctonia solani was evaluated 77 days after the treatment with COMPOUND 2 (Tab.3) when calculating the infected area of the leaf and frequency of infection in 10 plants per plot chosen at random. Efficacy was calculated as% decrease in infected area of the leaf in the treatments compared to the untreated control: E = (1-a / b) «100 a corresponds to the infected area of the leaf of the plants treated in% and b corresponds to the infected leaf area of the plants (control) not treated in% An efficacy of 0 means that the infected area of the leaf of the treated plants corresponds to that of the untreated control plants; an efficacy of 100 means that the treated plants showed a reduction in the infected leaf area of 100%, ie no infection with Rhizoctonia solani could be detected.

During maturity, the plants were harvested and grain yield was measured (Tab 3).

Tab. Ex. VI-3: Efficacy of COMPOUND 2 against Rhizoctonia and effect of performance As shown in Table 3, COMPOUND 2 is active against Rhizoctonia in rice. This activity is higher in the imidazolinone tolerant rice variety when treated with COMPOUND 2 compared to a variety that does not have this herbicide tolerance trait.

In addition, treatment with COMPOUND 2 results in higher grain yield compared to the untreated control. The increase in grain yield is greater when the Clearfield ™ variety is treated than in a conventional variety.

The increase in efficacy in disease control and yield in the herbicide tolerant CL 161 variety is greater than that predicted by the effects of the treatment with COMPOUND 2 in a conventional rice variety and the herbicide tolerance trait in the CL 161 variety with respect to disease control and yield. Therefore, synergistic effects for disease control and grain yield can be observed when combining treatment with COMPOUND 2 with an imidazolinone tolerance trait.

COLZA OLEAGINOSA In 2002, oilseed rape was grown in Verrie in France. The Colosse variety was sown at a sowing rate of 3 kg / ha. The space between the rows was 17 cm. The size of the plot was 30 m2.

BOSCALID was applied once in the growth stage 16 (BBCH) using the commercially available Cantus (WG) formulation containing 500 g of active ingredient per kg with a dosage rate of 0.5 l / ha. The formulation was diluted in a total spray volume of 300 l / ha.

Infection with Leptosphaeria maculans 209 days after treatment with BOSCALID was evaluated (Tab.4) in the growth stage 75 (BBCH) of the culture. The stems of 50 plants were classified and the number of plants without symptoms (H1), less severe symptoms (H2), severe symptoms (H3) and very severe symptoms (H4) were counted. An index of diseases calculated as the average of the number of heavy plants through the four classes: (1 * Number of plants in H1 +2 * Number of plants in H2 + 3 * Number of plants in H3 + N0 of plants in H4) / Total number of plants evaluated The retention of green leaves in treated and control plants was evaluated by estimating the green leaf area 28 days after treatment in 10 plants per plot, chosen at random.

During maturity, the plants were harvested and grain yield was measured (Tab 4).

Tab. Ex. VI-4: Efficacy of BOSCALID against Leptosphaeria maculans (LEPTMA) and effect on yield Infection rate in control 49% As shown in table 4 BOSCALID has good activity against Leptosphaeria maculans in oilseed rape. The activity is greater is treated a variety of oilseed rape tolerant to herbicides with BOSCALID than expected from the combination of the effect of the BOSCALID treatment and the herbicide tolerant trait (resistance to imidazolinone), respectively, in the control of Leptosphaeria.

In addition, treatment with BOSCALID results in a higher grain yield compared to the untreated control. The increase in grain yield is greater when treating the herbicide-tolerant oilseed rape variety than expected for the combination of individual effects of both the BOSCALID treatment and the herbicide tolerance trait.

Therefore, synergistic effects for disease control and grain yield can be observed when treatment with BUSCALID is combined with a variety of oil-tolerant oilseed rape.
